Nice, but I put the 2.0 airflow in. Too tight. Maybe need to thin the tails a bit too.

Looks big in the pic.

It’s not. It’s really skinny and fits my hand perfectly. The flavor is great on it.

I got home tonight and another review sample in the mailbox. It’s the VapX Art. I’m really curious about this one so it should be fun to try. Everything I’ve tried from VapX so far has been great.

There's SS and black available here:

Vapefly Galaxies MTL (RDTA) 2ml

Thanks Pigs, but wow those are some steep prices. More than double what I paid for my Galaxies.

Cotton Bacon is good, but I tend to waste a lot of cotton when making the wick, so it was not super economical. Native Wicks is probably my favorite "premium" cotton, it was much easier for me to find the right thickness. But you get a lot more for your money with this 13 feets stuff.

13 Feets is the cotton @Letitia recommended to me from Amazon. I really like it. Very fast wicking and so cheap. Bugger all break in time too. My fav ever has been Team vape Labs but am really keen to try the Mavaton that Rob Fisher, SMT and Charlie use.

Yep that's USD $34. We pay very high prices for locally sourced vape gear here. That's why I buy 95% direct from China.

How many do you already have Red?

Just the one.

Mavaton is good. I had a small amount sent to me awhile back. I can see why it's popular.

I just checked, the site only ships Australia anyways.

If you decide you want to buy it, pm me and I'll post it to you.

Thanks Pigs. I'll think about it.

Just a heads-up : River Supply is closing their doors this coming Monday. I have placed more orders with them, and shockingly, they got them fulfilled and shipped out the next day. Yes, 50% off is great for us in the short term but it's sad that another company is closing it's doors as a victim of our Government's attempt to kill vaping.

They are not closing their doors. They are just not selling to the public anymore. They will still be providing Nic and flavors via wholesale to vendors

Yes, but to the individual DIYer, which is who I was addressing, they will be closed. Maybe it was wrong to assume there were no vendors on this thread?

 

[Shadav]

River Supply is shutting down it's sales to consumers and the website
however Nicotine River (the parent company) isn't going anywhere but only sells to business'.
It does suck, that was my go to for flavorings.

I am not a vendor just thought it needed clarifying that the company was still in existence.

Any tips on building the Ataman, Charlie? I haven't even taken mine apart yet, but I'd just as soon know about any quirks beforehand.

I've been using both the Ataman and Achilles for a couple of years now. Very impressed with both...super easy to use and very flavorful. Both have the same deck and the most important thing is the coil height above the air inlet. You'll have to play around with that to get your best flavor and throat hit. I learnt that from the Ukrainian's (that makes them) website. As Charlie said...thin coil tails is best.

Very cool Fred

I'm on the think again...
Why does a tank need a juice flow control?
Obvious answer is, to control the flow of thin or thicker juice. Well the Dvarw (and many others) don't have it, and works pretty darn well with any mix of juice...
